Bee update.

I've made a rather simple scene to place the bee in. The bee is not finished yet but this is the general mockup. I'm playing around and trying to create a nice light setup, but for a novice like me it's hard. This is a quick post-image that I took to Photoshop (and clearly visible PS effects), this is not the final version, plus the final version will be higher resolution.

Basically I'm struggling with getting a nice environment so that both the bee and the background looks pleasing.

Bee model update.

I guess I continued to work on this model, I'm gonna post my updates for today. Gonna continue tomorrow or something, I'm going away for the rest of today.

Cheers.

EDIT: I added the two AO and wire images, as a request by a dude over at CGTalk.com. Because I did those I figured I could add it here as well. Just didn't wanna create another post for that.

Spontaneous model.

Yo.

Today I was browsing the CG Society forums like any other day, then I found a thread where someone posted a link to a new site called www.3dmodelsheets.com. It's sheets (image planes) of various insects, animals and plants. Well, that's what I think it will be, as it's rather new there isn't too many things there yet.

However, I took a look at those sheets and when I saw the bee I just couldn't help myself, I modeled it out. It's still a WIP I think, I want to create real bee textures and such, and possibly work on it in ZBrush. I slapped on a temp texture just so that it looks a bit more pleasant than plain gray stuff (or AO/Clay render).
Well that's all I had to say today, I'll probably continue working on it.

New head yet again

Long time no post. I even forgot to wish you guys a happy Christmas and whatnot. I hope I remember to at least wish you a happy new year as well ^_^

Now then, I've redone the whole head from scratch again. I won't give up until I get the perfect results. Hopefully this head has a good future. We'll see what other people say.

Half a head

Hi.

For now I just have a very very basic head. I just figured I'd post some WIP pics as I go. That way whoever wants to follow my progress can, but mostly so that I have some WIPs that I can go back to and show up for critic later. But for now it's way too early to do that. Hopefully I get to work some more on this head today, I'm organizing and refoldering papers for my company. It's soon time to start it up. And I also have a lot to do so modeling will be the thing will that suffer for now, sadly.

Anyway, here's the WIP head, it looks awful I know, but just wait and you'll see some nice progress.
